Everybody can take part in democratic elections by giving a vote on the candidate he or she believes to be most suited for the task. Still, many choose not to.

Education, age, and socio economic class have weak and negative correlations with electoral turnout. Instead, the correlations of the demographical factors and blank ballots are strong and positive.

These phenomenon seem to the base for the voting patterns in Bogotá.
